A body is at aheight of 81m and is ascending upwards with a velocity of 12m/s .a body of 2 kg weight is dropped from it.if g=10m

butalik [34]

First the velocity drops to zero in 1.2 secs. In those seconds it went upwards for 7.2 m, then it went from 87.2 to 0m. x-x0=v0*t+1/2*g*t^2 ergo t=sqrt(2x/g) that is 4.1761 s. Finally the total time required is 5.3761 s

Find the kinetic energy of an electron whose de broglie wavelength is 34.0 nm.

dezoksy [38]

The De Broglie wavelength of the electron is
$\lambda=34.0 nm=34 \cdot 10^{-9} m$
And we can use De Broglie's relationship to find its momentum:
$p= \frac{h}{\lambda}= \frac{6.6 \cdot 10^{-34} Js}{34 \cdot 10^{-9} m}=1.94 \cdot 10^{-26} kg m/s$

Given $p=mv$ , with m being the electron mass and v its velocity, we can find the electron's velocity:
$v= \frac{p}{m}= \frac{1.94 \cdot 10^{-26} kgm/s}{9.1 \cdot 10^{-31} kg}= 2.13 \cdot 10^4 m/s$

This velocity is quite small compared to the speed of light, so the electron is non-relativistic and we can find its kinetic energy by using the non-relativistic formula:
$K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2= \frac{1}{2}(9.1 \cdot 10^{-31} kg)(2.13 \cdot 10^4 m/s)^2=2.06 \cdot 10^{-22} J$

Two asteroids identical to those above collide at right angles and stick together; i.e, their initial velocities were perpendicu

11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

velocity = 62.89 m/s in 58 degree measured from the x-axis

Explanation:

Relevant information:

Before the collision, asteroid A of mass 1,000 kg moved at 100 m/s, and asteroid B of mass 2,000 kg moved at 80 m/s.

Two asteroids moving with velocities collide at right angles and stick together. Asteroid A initially moving to right direction and asteroid B initially move in the upward direction.

Before collision Momentum of A = 1000 x 100 = $10^5$ kg - m/s in the right direction.
